My husband and I decided on dinner at the Water Grill for our anniversary. Once seated at our table we noticed an anniversary card waiting for us. It was signed by some of the staff. I thought that was a very nice gesture. We started with drinks and bread (The Visionary & Margarita Verde). Both were good but The Visionary was better. Next, we enjoyed the oyster sampler along with Peruvian scallops. I LOVE oysters and they all seemed fresh. For our main dishes, husband ordered salmon and I ordered cioppino. We both really enjoyed our food. It was just enough for us. We both finished our meals but were not over stuffed. Service was great from start to finish. We had a great anniversary dinner. Thank you to the staff and manager for making our night special.
If you’re looking for excellent dining in LA, this is a great option. However, the service is extremely slow—our lemonade took 35 minutes to arrive. However, the restaurant apologized and offered us a free desert which was very nice. As for the food, the mains felt Michelin two-star level.
Lovely restaurant in downtown Los Angeles. We were looking for a seafood restaurant and this was within walking distance from our hotel. Loved the atmosphere and service. The seafood was delicious from the oysters to the sushi. Everything was super fresh and very well prepared. The server did an amazing job of walking us through the menu. Would definitely come back.
Dining at Water Grill was an outstanding experience. The atmosphere struck the perfect balance between upscale and relaxed, making it ideal for both special occasions and casual nights out. The seafood was impeccably fresh — you could truly taste the quality in every bite. I started with the raw oyster selection, which was briny, sweet, and expertly shucked, followed by a perfectly cooked piece of wild-caught fish that was tender, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The service was attentive without being intrusive, with staff knowledgeable about both the menu and wine pairings. From start to finish, every detail felt thoughtful and polished. Water Grill is a must-visit for anyone who appreciates top-tier seafood and exceptional hospitality.
We had an outstanding experience at Water Grill, and a big part of that was thanks to our amazing server, Carlos. He was incredibly helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable, his recommendations made a great meal truly exceptional. We started with the Jumbo Lump Crab Cake, and I can honestly say it was the best crab cake I’ve ever had. The flavor was spot-on, and the texture was perfectly delicate yet rich. It set the tone for an unforgettable meal. Carlos then recommended the Lobster Roll, and it was absolutely phenomenal, something out of this world. The balance of flavors and the creamy, well-seasoned sauce made it a must-try. I’d highly recommend getting this as an appetizer. For our mains, we had the Wild Ross Sea Chilean Sea Bass, another of Carlos’ suggestions. The spices were perfectly balanced, and the fish was cooked to perfection; moist, flavorful, and beautifully presented. We also tried the Prime Split-Bone “Cowboy” Ribeye, which was charcoal grilled and packed with flavor. The smoky aroma from the charcoal gave it an extra edge, and the fat was just right, adding richness without being overwhelming. Every bite was juicy, tender, and delicious. Overall, Water Grill exceeded our expectations in every way. The food was phenomenal, the atmosphere elegant yet comfortable, and Carlos’ exceptional service truly made the night. Can’t wait to come back!
